I used Northern from Marlboro crescent bus station every Saturday morning. 8am bus to Newcastle. 1 from northumbland street to Marlboro then a 631/2/3 up to winlation where my grandparents lived. Used to find a fortune on the floor of the bus depot if I arrived before the road sweepers.... that was when punters used buses to get home from a night in the town
It was a fascinating place.
Buses pelting in and out, crowds of people in an orderly line across the street and towards the fire station - parting to let a bus out and on to its journey, pigeons everywhere...
You missed out, only using it the once.
Mind, saying that - I can't remember using Marlborough Crescent.
I remember where it was and the layout of it, but I think you definitely have one on me there.
One thing though. I've heard it pronounced Warsick Street and Wersick Street. Was there ever a definite pronunciation?
